The book of the Psalms, which is the primary devotional literature of the whole Bible, is full of complaints.

This study is written with the conviction that our fundamental need in Western Christianity is to repent of our low and unworthy views of God, to return to the biblical descriptions of the true God, and to risk it all in order to live upon Who He is.

Studying a book that was finished nearly two thousand years ago may appear to some like an interesting but somewhat impractical pursuit. Quaint and antiquarian, the diligent examination of the Bible might seem better suited to an old seminary professor or a historian. We probably never actually talk this way, but we are all tempted to think like this when the busy cares of life press in on us. Reading the Bible gets placed on a mental shelf of good intentions, where it remains admired, not seriously examined and applied.

We have specific instances we feel need to be addressed, ... but other complaints could widen the scope.

There's no better book with which to defend the Bible than the Bible itself.

I'm a book nut, and I've been to a lot of bookstores. This is one of the best. It's full of books you don't find anywhere else. I could stay here all week.
